The maternal mortality rate in the United States is more than double that of our peers. How can we get maternal care right? In this season of Uncared For, we’ll learn from parents, doctors, midwives, and experts about why our system is so dangerously behind other countries. We’ll explore how places like Germany, the Netherlands, and Costa Rica are providing comprehensive and equitable care, and what the US can do better so that fewer pregnant people end up as statistics.

 

Uncared For is presented by the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit foundation making grants to promote an equitable, high-performing health care system. Learn more at CommonwealthFund.org.
